Debby Holiday experienced every aspect of the music industry early on while growing up in Los Angeles, Ca. Her father Jimmy Holiday was a passionate and soulful artist, topping the charts with several of his own singles before going on to co-write such hits as Understanding by Ray Charles and Jackie DeShannon’s Put A Little Love In Your Heart. Another standard All I Ever Need Is You, turned out to not only be a top 10 single for Sonny and Cher – but also went on to be a huge country hit for Kenny Rogers and Dottie West. Naturally, this eclectic mix of music strongly influenced Debby’s own unique and compelling sound.

Inspired by the stage presence, individuality and never give up attitude of artists like David Bowie, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin & Prince; at the age of 10 she began writing songs in her bedroom closet far away from her father’s critical ear. By 20 she was fronting her own band and rocking out in clubs all over Los Angeles.
